"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. It is now generally accepted that this clause is capable of different interpretations. The intention may have been genuine, but when the matter of interpreting a clause goes to court, it is for the court to decide what meaning to August 30, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3613 give it. Evidence from us, as Members of Parliament, as to what we meant is inadmissible. The intention is to be gathered by the court purely on the basis of the language used. We know that, quite often, the media is not right. None of us can say that he or she has not been maligned, or reported incorrectly, but we do not throw away the baby with the bath water. The memorandum by the President is very well-argued. The clause can be interpreted to include disclosing sources of information. Therefore, I would urge hon. Members, through you, that we agree with the views expressed by His Excellency the President and delete this clause. Thank you."
